GOAT-dell Beckham 117 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Starting CBs for Arizona are rookie Byron Murphy and journeyman Tremaine Brock for the first 6 weeks of the season. Shootout city 🤑🤑🤑 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TommyKramer 829 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 What is this guy going to be this year. Seems like a complete crapshoot. Could be a guy getting peppered with targets in a high flying offense always playing catch up at the end of games, or a guy who is no better than 5 other guys you could pick up on the wire each week. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BallinOnnaBudget 345 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Alright guys, quick update as a Cardinals fan.... The Cards just released their first official DEPTH CHART and a big takeaway is the WR / TE / RB breakdown... They kept 7 (SEVEN!) WRs, only 2 TEs and 3 RBs. They've kept the Offense under cover all off-season, but just by that breakdown, it makes it clear that there will be ton of 3 and 4 WRs sets. So the ball will be thrown all over the yard. Fitz will get some love, Kirk, Crab, KeeSean... those will probably be the top 4. And out of those, I think Kirk may shine. He hasn't had a super strong connection in the pre-season but Kyler looked for him in the end zone, and I think he'll get some play this season. I have him rated as a WR3 with WR2 upside. Let's gooOoOO!!! 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BallinOnnaBudget 345 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 In my league Kirk is 87% rostered but only 10% starting. I've always planned to not start him week 1... but Diggs is Q, and I'm light at WR while waiting for AJ Green to heal.... So...... If Diggs is a no go, I may be (sketchily) all in with Kirk 😬 Also, Cards RT just got injured... not awesome. But either way, Go Cardinals, hope Kyler shines and Kirk gets some love. Also also, I ended up naming my team Kirk Go Bang so maybe it's just destiny I have to actually start him in week 1 hahaa FML 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gufomel 873 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Anyone who was able to watch the game, what did you see? Looks like a ton of targets but only 4 catches. Bad passes? Good defense? Drops? The offense obviously had a rough start but seemed to find their stride in the 4th quarter based on the box score. How how is Kirk’s upside in 2019 now that the offense has finally been unveiled? Limited or sky is the limit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eaglesflyhigh11 450 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Combination of all the above. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kyler and Fitz has a better connection. He’s being used in motion quite a bit in misdirection game so I imagine they’ll design plays specifically for him on some of those plays during the season.

gufomel 873 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 A couple posts from JJ Zachariason have me thinking maybe there’s still very high upside here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BallinOnnaBudget 345 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Kyler looked for Kirk, they just didn't quite connect. The intent is there, but may take a few weeks to build up the chemistry. I plan to at least hold for a couple weeks more and watch how their connection matures. Kyler had something like 54 passes in week 1, so if they can get it going, there could be enough targets to make 2-3 guys relevant ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JJ1223 1,849 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 He's a hold but on thin ice. I think they are really going to try to use 4-5 receivers every game and none of them will be fantasy relevant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrianM 1,285 Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Basically, if you're getting 4th quarter and OT Kyler, Kirk's great. If you're getting first half Kyler, he's a dud. I'd bet on the former, more often than not, he looked sharp. However, i'm checking matchups each week with Kirk right now. Baltimore's a tough sell. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The targets and talent are there, but the chemistry is not. I really don't like this offense though so it's definitely a drop after this week if there's not an uptick in production.

mongidig 200 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Anybody thinking of dropping Kirk is crazy! He had 12 targets and Murray missed him a bunch. The chemistry will grow between these two for sure. The Cards will run a lot of plays. Kirk has the IT quality in my opinion and will end up the number 1 receiver in this offense. The Cards schedule gets better as the season progresses. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I mean I agree to a certain extent. The It factor is real. I just don't like how much they actually spread it around to EVERYONE. If we were out there we might of got 5 targets each lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can't catch and I don't like to be tackled. He did spread it around but I think Kirk will be the cream of the crop in what might be a big pie.

Jwook 189 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Kirk has the feel of a guy you drop week 2 or 3 for a shiny new toy just to seriously regret it 3 weeks later. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TommyKramer 829 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Don't see how Kirk doesnt finish with at least 75 catches in this offense. Anyone that catches the ball that much at least deserves a bench spot in any league with 10 or more teams. Anyone that would consider dropping him after getting 12 targets in week 1 is nuts! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pastorofmuppets2 10,634 Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 guys, "spreading it around" is virtually rendered moot when ya talkin' this kinda volume on offense ... and by volume i mean plays run. not counting ot, we all know that was a caveat of last week - an anomaly/outlier, yes. but this offense is geared to run a TON of plays in RT 4 qtrs ... at least 40 of which will be passes every gotdamn week. Shatner is gonna emerge, and y'all will be kickin' yerselves if you drop him now ... THIS OFFENSE IS DESIGNED TO RUN A TON OF PLAYS! Shatner gonna bag 7-10 targets per week as a floor merely by attrition. kid is wayyyyy too talented to curb kick. sheeeesh. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
